Hello,

I wonder where I can find some informations about the differences of all
those iso-latin-soandso ... so I can come up with a reasonable decision
which one to choose. I use a US keuyboard on a laptop but am to print 99%
in german language. So how can I tell emacs to allways use the proper
(which one?) coding when asked to save a file?

greetings, ray

"M-x set-language-environment RET German RET" should set up the
appropriate defaults for you.

The web page http://czyborra.com/charsets/iso8859.html contains some
information on the different iso-8859:s, if you would like the details.
It's really not complicated, and it points out a number of design
features of the characters sets that it would be useful if Emacs knew.
